Okay, but one is apples and one is oranges. When the Chiefs drafted Tyreek Hill, he had been charged and it was known what he had done. Major reason why he slipped to the 5th round. The organization claims that he told them everything they asked. Even when he had his issues last year, it would seem that he told the team everything that the authorities could verify. The league opted not to suspend him, and TMZ has yet to find the video proving he should be suspended yet. I don't doubt that he's a horrible person. But if they cut him today, 31 other NFL teams are falling all over themselves to call him up.
In the case of Kareem Hunt, the team suspended him because he with held information which eventually came out and essentially proved him to be a liar. He even admitted that he lied about it at the time.
I think the Chiefs are perfectly fine employing people who have committed domestic violence...so long as they are pro bowl level talent, and have dropped that habit. Which basically makes them a NFL team like everyone else. Not one team can plead innocent when it comes to employing bad people.
I cheer for the Chiefs, but I do cringe a bit that a guy like Hill is a big part of their success. I also am a bit bitter that a guy as talented as Hunt is helping another team be a playoff team because the world hated the Chiefs for having him...and now laud the Browns for getting him on the cheap.
